    • You are who you decide to be at any given moment. It does not take money in the bank, a college degree, connections,experience or anything else you may be using as an excuse to be who you want to be. Simply decide. The root of the word decide means to "cut off." Just decide to cut off from all other possibilities than who you want to be. We are all human beings not doings. Decide to be who you want be and then do the things that the person you decide to be would do.
